Need someone in Plano or Dallas, TX area please



Recommended Posts

Putting out an SOS for anyone in the Dallas or Plano, TX area.

I am traveling out of state to Dallas for my surgery, but don't know anyone there. I was going to try to come down this Sat to have an EGD done- but I got it worked out to have a 2nd one done locally. I have a Grade C Esophogitus and the surgeon won't do surgery on me until it's improved.

The EGD is an outpatient procedure, but they won't let you have the procedure unless you have someone to check out. I'm still waiting to find out when I should go back to have my EGD done locally here- no idea how to tell when the Esophogitus would be healed or improved. I hope to get an answer on that tomorrow.

Anyways, planning ahead now- hoping I can have my surgery sometime in May and so the plan is once I get the clearance on my esophogitus I will have a definite surgery date. I will have another EGD a day before my surgery and that is when I will need someone to check me out from that procedure. They won't let me stay in the hospital because it is an outpatient procedure and they won't do surgery that same day.

Soooo.... please anyone who can help me I would be so ever grateful! I can help with $ for gas if that helps. You wouldn't need to stay during the procedure, so hopefully maybe 30 minutes or so if we time it right would be all the time you would have to plan for.

PM me if you prefer. Thank you for your help!

Thank you!!!!! I'm not sure what days they do them there, but it would be during the daytime. I won't know what day until I get the green light from another EGD up here, but I will PM you with my contact information so we can stay in touch.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
